A unit or commercial space out of use can interrupt rental income or business operations. We plan construction around the intended use and turnover requirements.
We review estimates against the design and scope and compare pricing. We check how alternatives will perform, when they are available, and how they affect the schedule, so you can evaluate the tradeoffs before approving a change.
We plan design, approvals, material orders, and trade sequencing around the construction schedule. We update the forecast as work progresses and flag risks to turnover.
We coordinate the design professionals, expediters, and reviewing agencies on required applications, inspections, and signoffs. We follow through on the approvals and occupancy documents needed to return the space to use.
We manage construction, coordinate the trades, and follow the work through inspections and closeout.

Zev Wercberger’s experience in real estate development
A lender brought us in to untangle inherited construction problems and complete an eight-unit multifamily building in Brooklyn. We corrected building systems, finished the interiors, negotiated subcontractor obligations and final payments, and helped secure signoffs and a certificate of occupancy.
The interiors were unfinished. We also needed to correct plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work, address window problems, and repair leaks.
We identified corrective and unfinished work and established the scope and budget needed to complete the building.
We helped secure the signoffs and certificate of occupancy needed for the building’s completion.

Yes. We plan access, protection, and required shutdowns with the owner and management team. This can include dust and noise protection, phased access, and notices to occupants and building staff. We review which areas can remain in use before construction.
